Abstract
Two proton recoil telescopes (PRTs) for the precise determination of neutro n fluences are described. The first covers the neutron energy range from 20 to 65 MeV and the second is applicable up to 200 MeV neutron energy. We re port in detail on the experimental set-up and describe the response simulat ion using two different Monte Carlo codes. The two telescopes are compared in a 62 MeV quasi-monoenergetic neutron beam. The measurement uncertainties are discussed. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
